Research interests

My research interests are the life-course and risk factors of neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD and autism spectrum disorder and I am part of a Wellcome Trust grant for "Neurodevelopmental Disorders: What happens when children grow up and why?". I am specifically interested in causal risks of early life exposures for neurodevelopmental outcomes, gene-environment interactions and how they may change over the life-course. To address these questions I use statistical genetic approaches and mainly data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC).
